2 more wins today one for €130 and another for €50, yay!

I could have won much more at the €50 tournament, but this happened at the final table :/

Another €50 win. Thought I was gonna double up, but got my ass handed back to me on the river with a bad beat...

By the way, I wish you all a merry Christmas if you are celebrating it.

Cheers!

Also I hadn't posted a graph so far, now I am for xmas' sake.

This is my results graph from SharkScope, but my actual profits are lower because:
1. SharkScope does not correctly track rebuys and add-ons.
2. I have other accounts on other networks that are losing.

Anyhow, it's still pretty good if you ask me with just over 350 tournaments in 3.5 months.

Happy Christmas PokeRock!

Just crushed a Christmas Tournament shipping €800 home!

Thanx for the good wishes KP24, also I'd like to wish well to the jews who have just celebrated their Hannukah

Just saw it.Congrats!

Thnx bro!
Keep watchin', I'll keep 'em comin'!

Aaaaaand back to back wins of €70 and €238, yay!

Alright one more cash in for us.

Let's see if we can bag some more wins before the new year!

I normally play tournaments between €5 to €10.
Once I make a withdrawal, I'm entitled to take a shot at a €20 tournament.

Well, this month, things were going smoothly and I did take my shot tonight.
I made it to the final table, and even became the chip leader at some point.
However, tiredness and time zone difference kicked in, and I couldn't play my A game. Still, I was doing pretty good, until JJ showed up in my hand. The chip leader 3x raised on the button before me, and it was an easy shove for me...

Until I saw that I shove into pocket Aces!

So I busted out at the 6th place winning over €600. But I could win €3.000 tonight, so I'm not feeling that great. Still it was a success, wasn't it bros?

I'm either on a sick heater or finally my hard work and dedication is beginning to pay off or both.

Nevertheless, I shipped another 3rd place in for €85!

I feel like I have some improvement points on the final table, yet I feel much more comfortable when I am seated at one compared to the ones a couple of months ago.

Inspiring thread, experiences and education. Thanks for sharing. Will follow along!!

Thank you and welcome kaykayv!

I'll have some more quality stuff coming up soon.

How many tournaments do you play in a day? Do you play until you win or lose a certain amount?


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Anything between 1 to 10 tournaments, depending on my daily schedule and level of tiredness.

I tend to play 1 or 2 tournaments at a time to focus more, which helps me increase my ROI% (return on investment).

I don't have a daily set limit for winning or losing in terms of money. And I don't recommend anyone to set such a limit since tournaments are inherently more variance prone.

Also, I try to have a 50-50% balance between playing and studying.

Great advise. Thank you!!

What can I say?

It has been an a*hole of a year. With lots of deaths and attacks in this part of the world. And entering 2017 with an ISIS attack in Istanbul didn't help at all.
I don't see 2017 will be any better than 2016, things just might even get worse.
I'm beginning to think of poker as a way to haul my family away from this hell hole called middle east. Well, if I ever get that successful.

Happy new year.

Hi. First of all, good year to you.

I've been reading to your post but i didn't write nothing till today.

I think your thread is very nice, hope you achieve this goal.

Talking about attacks... terrorism nowadays is a huge problem, like you, i can't see this changing and decreasing. Hope i'm wrong.

I will be here giving you good luck in bad moments and congratulations in goods this year.

Gooo!

I'll be posting this month's goals shortly.

Nice job congrats on an excellent month. Good luck in 2017

Thanx man, have a great year for yourself too!

I don't know about the year, though today was a sh*tty day at work. Which caused me to burn €100 playing like a sperm whale at the tournaments.

Anyway, I'm putting in the hours to study poker and each day I learn something new, or improve on some concepts. The problem is, I do not have a fixed curriculum, which I'm used to having after finishing a couple of universities.

However, the method I use is like the "immersion technique" they use when teaching a new foreign language. It's like you being taken from your surroundings and put to live in that foreign country, where nobody understands your language, and you don't understand theirs.

But in time, you learn the words used daily, like bread, train, house, money, etc. Then one day you find yourself forming broken sentences. And given time, you speak like a native -maybe with an accent- yet that accent is kind of intriguing to the people you meet, rather than disturbing

At least, that's what I hope is happening now.
